The Normans were attracted to England primarily due to its wealth and fertile lands, which promised economic opportunities. Additionally, the instability following the death of King Edward the Confessor and the subsequent power struggles presented a chance for conquest and territorial expansion. The prospect of gaining land and titles, along with the desire to assert dominance, motivated figures like William the Conqueror to invade in 1066. Lastly, the desire to spread their influence and solidify power in the region also played a significant role.
